However, these people are outside the wormhole.

Ning Qi can see them, but these people may not be able to see him.

This wormhole has boundaries.

Ning Qi didn't take this to heart and continued on his way to his destination.

He didn't realize that these people also had connections.

They were all wearing the armor of the Immortal Pavilion.

However, Ning Qi could no longer see any of this.

His direction was the Blackwater District of District 15. Taking this wormhole shortcut would be much faster than going through the Dao.

Going early allows for advance planning and the creation of a false impression.

Luring them here will save the True Martial Spirit Realm from a catastrophe.

He also knew very well that dealing with one person was easy.

However, there is absolutely no chance against the Immortal Selection Pavilion, whose members are all at least Immortals.

Therefore, this is the only option left.

He thus embarked on his flying boat and headed eastward.

A few days later, they arrived near the Boundary Sea, the eastern edge of the legendary Fifteenth District.

He was currently docked inside the wormhole in the Boundary Sea, observing the outside environment.

The foggy area here is completely different from what it used to be.

Because of their high density, much of this fog has already condensed into solid form.

It formed a large, interconnected layer of black clouds.

Within these clouds, bolts of lightning could be seen flashing intermittently, accompanied by constant rumbling thunder.

"This must be the Blackwater District."

Ning Qi looked at this place and couldn't help but show a bit of awe.

It wasn't out of fear, but rather awe at the power of the Blackwater Zone.

In the hazy area, some celestial bodies, such as meteorites, can also be seen.

But here, there are no unprotected celestial bodies; they would likely be annihilated in an instant.

So, all you can see here are these dark clouds.

Besides the dark clouds, all that could be seen ahead was an even denser area of ​​gray fog.

Calling it a gray fog is actually a stretch.

In fact, the fog is compressed continuously here and has turned into water droplets.

These water droplets continue forward and gradually converge.

This formed what is known as the Blackwater Zone.

However, the black water area in front of Ning Qi was not a large, continuous expanse of water formed by the condensation of gray mist.

There are also gaps between them, and these gaps are still gray fog, but they are still compressed here, making them stronger than the gray fog in the areas behind.

Upon reaching this point, the connection ahead has been lost.

Several exits formed in front of Ning Qi's wormhole.

Each exit is protected by a protective array.

The black water and the twisted monsters were kept out.

Ning Qi arrived at one of the exits.

Looking at the external environment.

Going out from here leads to hell.

Going back from here is like entering paradise.

Finally, gritting his teeth, he slipped away from the wormhole's protected area.

"call!"

When they reappeared, they were already outside the protective formation.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of howling winds could be heard.

Ning Qi let out a long sigh and glanced back.

"I don't know if I can go back."

He thought to himself, and then turned back.

"Buzz!"

However, just as they reached the entrance of the formation, they were pushed out by an invisible force.

Although it didn't injure him, the force still made him feel uncomfortable.

"Going out and then going back is not feasible."

"It seems to be to prevent those who return from here from being corrupted."

After analyzing the situation, Ning Qi decided to give up on going back.

Turning around, I looked at the Blackwater Zone of the Boundary Sea in front of me.

This is only the Blackwater area; what about the legendary turbulent water area?

Ning Qi thought for a moment, then steered the flying boat forward again.

This time, once the impulse reached its peak, the protective array of the flying boat was activated directly.

"Whoosh!"

After the formation was activated, the protective formations that had been dormant on the entire airship began to function.

It isolates the surrounding black water and gray fog.

Protect the safety of the airship.

Every now and then, gray mist would transform into gusts of wind that would blast the flying boat.

However, they could only create a ripple on the protective light screen, which was not enough to shake the airship's defenses.

Ning Qi watched as ripples were stirred up, but he wasn't worried.

This is a flying boat that he obtained from the inheritance of Buzhou Mountain.

Although its defensive capabilities are not as strong as those of a giant ship, they are sufficient to deal with this area.

And so, he piloted his flying boat away from there, and following the map that Wei Xian and the others had given him, he began to search for a sea route.

After searching for a while, we determined the direction.

They piloted the flying boat and sped away.

As he began to speed away, he did not notice that in the distance of the Blackwater, several dark figures were chasing after him.

At first, there were only a few, but later there were more than a dozen.

By the time Ning Qi discovered them, these dark figures were only a few miles away from him.

"A twisted monster?"

Ning Qi frowned upon discovering this.

At this point, he was essentially observing these twisted monsters up close.

It is completely black.

His body didn't look as muscular as I had imagined.

Instead, it has a feeling like smoke.

The surface layer is formed from condensed black mist, while below it, the body appears to be formed from condensed water.

Scan with your divine sense and look further inside.

That is their core body.

Within this, at the central dantian position, there is a rapidly rotating sphere.

It is about the size of a pigeon egg.

It was entirely black, but it emitted streaks of red light.

"Tsk tsk, no wonder it's called the Twisted Monster."

"I see, their bodies are irregular."

"Even if they want to attack, their bodies are resilient."

Ning Qi looked at this body, which was covered in gray mist on the outside and soft, water-like inside. How could he attack it?

Using a sharp blade probably won't work, right?

Ning Qi had already taken out the Chaos Sword while thinking to himself.

However, he quickly put it back.

He took out an ordinary longsword.

"Then, let's use you as an example."

Ning Qi smiled and then brandished the Xuan Sword in his hand.

After unleashing a burst of sword energy, he thrust it towards the nearest twisted monster.

"Whoosh!"

This sword strike pierced through the twisted monster.

Ning Qi was somewhat surprised.

Surely it can't be done so easily?

Sure enough, after he sheathed his longsword, the twisted monster's body, which he had pierced, regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Whoosh!"

Immediately afterwards, the twisted monster's claws reached out and grabbed at Ning Qi.

The surrounding gray mist dissipated layer by layer as it was swept by the sharp claws.

Even the void itself was scratched with several marks.

"An attack imbued with Daoist principles?"

Ning Qi glanced at it and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

But he quickly realized, "No, this isn't Daoist energy, it's corrosive!"

He could clearly see that there were streaks of slime on the claws.

To be precise, this is the attack method of the water stains inside this twisted monster.

These deep, water-like bodies will actively transform into a corrosive liquid as he attacks.

It merged into his claws.

After seeing it clearly, Ning Qi couldn't help but show a solemn expression.

"Whoosh!"

He parried with his sword.

Although he blocked the twisted monster's attack, his Xuan Sword had been corroded.

It emitted a series of hissing, burning sounds.

"call!"

Ning Qi retreated abruptly, looking at his Xuan Sword.

Although its material is not as good as the Chaos Sword, it is still no ordinary item.

It was corroded so easily?

The sword was now covered in signs of corrosion.

Ning Qi shook the sword in his hand; it was no longer as sharp as before.

It was clearly corroded and could no longer be used.

"Wow, that strong?"

Ning Qi had initially thought that these twisted monsters weren't that strong.

After all, they looked soft and flabby, without bones or armor.

"roar!"

Before he could think any further, the twisted monster in front of him roared.

Several twisted monsters roared and charged toward him.

Wherever they went, black phantoms flashed by.

It was accompanied by a series of shrill screams.

It sounded more like a vengeful ghost roaring.

"soul?"

Ning Qi could clearly feel the power of the soul surging within their bodies.

When their divine sense explored the area, they were astonished to discover...

There were actually many souls inside this twisted monster.

They were all struggling in agony, and some were even howling in agony.

"These must all be the souls they devoured!"

After making his judgment, Ning Qi looked at the twisted monster in front of him.

Oh no, this seems like a tough opponent.

Ning Qi shook his head.

It is corrosive, capable of eroding the soul, and even devouring it.

He observed resilience in their encounter.

So, what other cards do they have up their sleeve?

Ning Qi no longer hesitated and took out the Chaos Sword.

"In that case, let's give it our all."

He doesn't yet know how to write about fear.

Faced with this threat, fighting to the death is the only option.

The rest is up to fate.

He gripped the Chaos Sword tightly in his hand, while simultaneously channeling the power of immortals and demons within his body.

Immediately following, the boundless evil energy he had concealed also began to circulate.

He poured this boundless evil energy into the Chaos Sword.

"Buzz!"

As boundless evil energy poured in, the Chaos Sword began to hum incessantly.

A surge of malevolent energy swirled and surged, causing the surrounding gray mist to tremble and shake violently.

"Whoosh!"

This time, a twisted monster lunged at him again.

Ning Qi gripped his longsword tightly and slashed at the sharp claws in front of him.

"puff!"

To his surprise, the attack severed the claws instantly.

At the break, clumps of black water instantly flowed out.

"roar!"

The twisted monster winced in pain, clutching its wound with its other hand.

His hatred for Ning Qi was boundless.

He didn't back down, but instead opened his mouth wide.

It then lunged towards Ning Qi and devoured him.

Ning Qi looked at the mouthful of fangs and the nauseating stench of decay.

This made him frown involuntarily.

"How disgusting!"

Ning Qi cursed, then gripped the Chaos Sword and stabbed it at the twisted monster's head.

"Whoosh!"

As expected, his Chaos Sword pierced through the twisted monster's head in an instant.

However, Ning Qi had no intention of letting him off the hook.

With both hands exerting force, he chopped down directly down his head.

"puff!"

In this way, the twisted monster was split in two.

When the Chaos Sword landed on his pigeon-egg-shaped body, Ning Qi continued to exert force.

Unfortunately, he failed to destroy the sphere.

However, because the twisted monster was split in two, the sphere became ownerless.

Ning Qi didn't mind at all; as the sphere floated, he simply waved his hand and took it into his hand.

After tossing it into his storage bag, he turned his attention back to the group of twisted monsters in front of him.

"Hehe! My Chaos Sword seems to be able to restrain their bodies!"

Ning Qi also discovered this problem.

They are not afraid of their corrosive properties, and they also have excellent destructive power over their bodies.

Although the Xuan Sword could destroy them, their bodies could regenerate.

After the Chaos Sword struck the twisted monster's body, it prevented them from healing.

The twisted monster's corpse, which had just been there, had now vanished into the world.

The only remaining sphere had already been put away by Ning Qi.

Seeing their companion killed, the twisted monsters roared and charged at Ning Qi.

They all wanted to tear him apart alive.

Several powerful ones had already grown to be dozens of feet tall.

This blocked Ning Qi's escape route.

The rest charged straight at them.

"roar!"

"..."

They roared and charged toward Ning Qi.

"Go to hell!"

Ning Qi no longer held back, grabbed the Chaos Sword, and charged in.

"Whoosh!"

"Bang!"

"..."

These twisted monsters were no match for him at all.

To be precise, he was no match for the Chaos Sword.

If you use the Chaos Sword to deal with the twisted monster, you don't need a second strike at all.

Soon, only one of these twisted monsters remained.

That is, the one whose body has grown dozens of times larger.

He also noticed that he was the only one left there, but he didn't intend to run away.

It roared and charged toward Ning Qi as well.

With its menacing, aggressive appearance, it seemed as if it wanted to refine him into something tangible.

"Hmph, you're asking for death."

Ning Qi looked at the twisted monster and snorted coldly.

Then, wielding the Chaos Sword and unleashing boundless evil energy, he instantly slashed down at the twisted monster.

"puff!"

As expected, the massive body of the twisted monster was successfully hit.

Simply divide it into two.

"call!"

However, before Ning Qi could catch his breath...

Unlike the others, this twisted monster was not killed by him.

The body did not reform.

Instead, they took the opportunity to split it in two.

They continued their attack on Ning Qi.

This time, he was smarter and didn't use physical attacks.

Instead, it opened its mouth wide and spat out puffs of black mist at Ning Qi.

It enveloped the area in an instant.

"Waaah..."

Within this black mist, countless vengeful ghosts were screaming in agony.

Roaring, it surged towards Ning Qi.

Ning Qi kept his eyes fixed on the black mist, retreating again and again.

Avoid direct erosion from these black fogs.

He could clearly feel the fluctuations in his soul from it.

Ning Qi knew very well that these vengeful ghosts were all people who had been devoured by these twisted monsters.

"Whoosh!"

As Ning Qi retreated, he suddenly noticed a figure appearing behind him.

It was another twisted monster that had been split in two.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, it had already reached his back, opened its mouth, and was about to devour Ning Qi.

"Damn it."

Caught in a pincer attack, Ning Qi cursed under his breath. (End of Chapter)
